Jay-Z Earns First Diamond Certification of His Career

Jay-Z Earns First Diamond Certification of His Career

Published Wed, June 14, 2023 at 12:05 PM EDT

Jay-Z has earned his first ever diamond certification. The RIAA noted on Monday (June 12), that his 2011 collaboration with Kanye West, "N-ggas In Paris" achieved 10x platinum status, qualifying it for a diamond plaque with 10,000,000 units sold.

The song was produced by Hit-Boy and Mike Dean, who both celebrated the achievement on social media.

“It’s a real blessing to be apart of the song that became jay-z first diamond record,” Hit-Boy wrote on Twitter on Monday. “What a life.”

This is Kanye's second diamond certification. He earned his first in April 2021 for his 2007 song, "Stronger."

Last year, Nas tied Jay-Z for the most top 10 albums released by a rap artist – they both have 16. Jay-Z currently holds the title of the most number one albums by a solo act.
